Most leadership failures don’t happen because of bad strategy. They happen because we overlook how human we all are when the pressure’s on.
Maartje van Krieken is joined by German author, speaker, and former airline pilot Peter Brandl, who brings a pilot’s perspective into the world of business leadership. With years of experience training flight crews in crisis response and communication, Peter talks through the concept of human factors in leadership, how the real risks come from misjudged decisions, flawed communication, and the stress responses we don’t always notice in ourselves or others.
They explore the role of situational awareness training and why it’s so important, especially when things go sideways. Peter shares some eye-opening moments about how quickly even simple communication can unravel and how much more effective we become when we admit our limitations instead of pretending they’re not there.
They also take a hard look at crisis decision-making. Why does indecision take hold in the moments that matter most? What helps people push through the freeze and take action when it counts? Peter offers up tools, like the idea of a crisis simulator, asking the right “what if” questions before disaster strikes. This episode is a reminder that leadership isn’t about being the smartest person in the room. It’s about being prepared, grounded, and human.
